This book reflects the results of basic research and practical experience in sediment transport and morphology in rivers, estuaries and coastal seas all over the world during a period of about 15 years. The purpose of this book is to give a unified view of sediment (sand and mud) transport over a wide range of conditions; from quasi-steady river flow to the violent wave-breaking processes in the surf zone of coastal seas. It was not the intention of the author to give a complete overview of the overwhelming amount of literature available. On the contrary, the emphasis is laid on the description and the application of those theories and formulae which have proven to give realistic results based on the authors experience. The application of refined theories consisting of many complicated equations is often not justified, given the uncertainties of the input data like current velocity, wave height, bed material composition, bed forms and roughness. An elegant way to overcome this problem is to represent the refined model by a much more simple parameter model or computer data base model.
